Current tremor amplitude past 7 days (IGN)

Yesterday’s trend seems to continue – less vigorous activity visible at the surface and less earthquakes today (only 24 quakes from magnitude 3.0 or above, the largest a 4.2 event in the past 24 hours), but at depth, a new surge of magma might be preparing itself. This is shown by increasing inflation.
Volcanic tremor remains at strongly fluctuating moderate levels.
